| Abstract/Contents: | "Urban growth throughout the state of Florida has placed a greater strain on the states limited water resources. Therefore, improved drought tolerance in turfgrass is important to reduce the need for supplemental irrigation to maintain the aesthetic value and functionality of turfgrass areas. Historically, the testing of drought tolerance in turfgrasses is conducted using field evaluations under drought conditions. However, periods of drought are unpredictable and variable, which can hamper breeding programs focused on drought responses. This study aims to identify drought-tolerant zoysiagrass genotypes using a polyethylene glycol (PEG) screening method in hydroponic systems. To do so, 13 zoysiagrass (Zoysia spp.) genotypes including entries germinated in PEG, were grown in hydroponic culture with no PEG (control) or an increasing concentration of PEG over the course of four weeks. The experiment was arranged as a randomized complete block design in a split-plot arrangement. The hydroponic cultures (no PEG and PEG) were split into the 13 genotypes comprised of four commercial cultivars ('Zeon', 'Icon', 'Palisades', and 'Empire') and nine experimental lines. During the treatment period, plants were evaluated for growth and morphological characteristics that included root emergence, root length density, root surface area, average root diameter, wilting, and new leaf production. Results showed that root length, root surface area, and average root diameter had larger values in the no PEG treatment. Zoysiagrass grown in hydroponic culture with no PEG also began rooting sooner but did not produce more leaves than the PEG treatment. Genotypic differences were seen with root length, root surface area, average root diameter and new leaf production. Results from this study will indicate the potential for using PEG as an efficient screening method to select for zoysiagrass genotypes that are better able to tolerate drought conditions." |
